You are part of the problem, frankly. He doesn't need nor does he want government programs. He wants to be left alone by the government. As do many of us.
He is complaining about the WAY our tax dollars are being spent. No accountability for welfare. Our youth are dying from fentanyl and little to no effort to stop the drugs from coming to our country. Our hard earned money going to foreign countries in the BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS, and we have people here who have no homes and no food.

He's not been "brainwashed" at all. He has lived it. He has seen the waste of tax money. He speaks for millions.

Nice contradiction.

"He doesn't need or want government programs" -- yet he complains that tax dollars are being spent on foreign aid when "we have people here who have no homes and no food."

It’s only help for the “right” poor people he wants. Just like we’re only supposed to feel bad for the “right” drug addicts and the “right” perpetrators of gun violence if we read the poster on law enforcement and libraries.

"Why are we sending money overseas when we have homeless and hungry people here in the US" - is just a cynical deflection. There is NOTHING stopping the Republican politicians who spew that comment from appropriating funds to house veterans. NOTHING - but themselves. Show me a Republican bill that proposed addressing homeless and hungry people in the US which was shot down by Democrats. NO SUCH BILL EXISTS. And in fact any time Democrats try to push an agenda to address homelessness, it's the Republicans who shoot it down.

How can he simultaneously be complaining about people here who have no food and simultaneously complain about people here with grocery carts loaded up and being paid for with foodstamps? Schroedinger's shopping cart - simultaneously empty and full of food at the same time.

And as for "obesity" and "but that food stamp shopping cart is full of junk food" again you can blame the Republicans, who had a complete freakout and meltdown when Michele Obama suggested trying to get kids on to healthier foods and to get them off of junk foods that lead to obesity, including all of the right wing's ever-ubiquitous and typical self-destructive "stick it to the man" statements that followed like Sarah Palin defiantly raising a 64oz Big Gulp full of corn syrup juice.



Some of you on the right seem to be VERY FORGETFUL of this stuff. Some of you on the right seem to LACK THE GREY MATTER to connect the obvious dots on these things.

I'm not sure why you're acting shocked that the fanatics of a party whose ideology is entirely based on grievance politics routinely make up things to be angry about.

There is no contradiction there at all.
He needs no help from "government programs." But, he, no doubt, know many that do. Instead our tax dollars are going, in the TRILLIONS to support foreign governments instead of taking care of our own homeless and poverty ridden citizens.

You just don't get it.

There’s a vast contradiction in saying someone who needs food stamps is “milkin’ welfare” but also complaining about foreign assistance. If the people here in the United States who receive food aid are so undeserving, why do they need more?

We don't send trillions of dollars to foreign governments. We spend about $40 billion in aid to foreign governments, with another ~$75 billion to Ukraine. That's about $115 billion, which is $885 billion less than one trillion, never mind multiple trillions: https://concernusa.org/news/foreign-aid-by-country/#:~:text=Foreign%20aid%20by%20country%202022,has%20disbursed%20over%20%2432%20billion.

We do, however, spend several trillions of dollars on our own citizens by funding Medicare, Medicaid, housing assistance, SNAP, SSI, TANF, EITC, etc: https://www.thepolicycircle.org/brief/safety-net-programs/

I'm glad to hear, though, that you think we should be spending more on our social safety net. I trust that you will vote for Democrats who support those expanding and funding those policies. Right?

The man is fielding multiple offers for representation out of Nashville. Not quite a loser?

Then why is he complaining about being so downtrodden by the Yankees? The song is all loser talk.

Isn't it amazing that someone who writes a song that speaks to MILLIONS across the nation from all backgrounds is able to be discovered and make money off something he loves doing... and is good at?
Good for him. He is a sincere, humble man who has managed to get a following because others can relate to him and his experiences.

And, he is not referring to the "Yankees."

I swear I believe some of you are being intentionally obtuse.

This is a song about white good old boys in the South whining that they are powerless in the dumbass society and economy that they intentionally created to keep Blacks and immigrants down.

Good grief you are ignorant.

It is essentially a song about how the government doesn't actually work for the people. And, he is right.

You have roads, running water, libraries, schools, fire protection, police, health standards at restaurants, streetlights?

This is just a small list showing you how important government is and how it is indeed working.

Fire protection failed in Hawaii. Libraries infested with homeless and drugs. Schools aren’t educating. Police can’t keep up with the violence and are often told by govt officials not to. Food poisoning issues increasing in restaurants. I’ll give you running water and streetlights.

I have a feeling you don’t actually patronize your local library branch very often. Please prove me wrong and let us know what library you routinely visit that is “infested”.

I was in West VA (Anthony country!) this weekend. On Saturday I went into the local library. Not a homeless person or a drug in sight…and unfortunately very few children. If you don’t make use of what the government is making available to you, that’s on you, not on an imaginary homeless person.

Oh, mine town is fine because we are conservatives and would not tolerate it. Go into Reston though and it’s a different story.

Reston? Try DC. I visited a Brand new library that reeked of urine around the entrance. I love libraries but sadly I will not be taking my kids to any libraries in a major metro area.

Sounds like you don’t really love libraries. Your poor kids.

I don’t care for the smell of urine and being around homeless individuals who appear to be mentally unstable or on drugs. But you do you babe, Live your best life at the library.

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses - Proverbs 28:27

That’s nice, but I spend my time and resources helping people who desire to improve their situation. Sadly the mentally ill and drug addicted hobos urinating in the streets do not or cannot. But by all means go ahead and use your resources to assist them.

Most americans prefer democratic policies whether they think they do or don't. Most just have a mental block based upon how they were raised to switch parties.

If you told the bottom 50% of income earners that they will get $1,000/mo from Uncle Sam (but say the republicans wanted to do this) they would all support that -- Ds and Rs.

People are so blinded by the past they can't realize what would benefit their family moving forward.

I don't agree with you at all.
Most of the people I know who received money during the pandemic were outraged that the govt. was sending out money to everyone - whether they needed it or not. It was a waste. Yes - send out funding to those unable to work or earn a living. But, those of us who were still receiving income or pension payments did not need the money.
I think most honest people would object to such a plan.

They had to act quickly, hence the help for everyone.

Because it was a PANDEMIC!

I think most honest people would object to such a plan.

Intellectually honest people, however, would not object to such a plan, because 1) there is a significant administrative cost in determining eligibility, and 2) there is a significant time cost in determining eligibility. Getting money quickly to people who needed it was more important than sending a $700 check to someone still gainfully employed.
